This year's mother's day was so special. We went to breakfast at our good friends' house where they cooked pancakes. As we were all sitting around, they casually mentioned - hey we're going to an internet cafe later this afternoon to call our moms for mother's day if you wanted to go with us. Bruce looked at me and said - right, it's mother's day...we need to call our moms today. About 30 seconds later he goes - oohhh, right. You're a mom too. :)
He made up for it by sending me off with one of the girls to get my hair cut and then went to an internet cafe to check my email for the first time in over a week (we didn't have internet at the time, so it was a special treat!) When I got home, the kids had each made me a special mother's day card - a tradition started my first mother's day when Elijah was just a wee 5 months old.
Here are some of the in-progress shots by Bruce:
I forgot to take a picture of the actual artwork, or of mom with the kids but this is a work-in progress shot of Elijah's picture.
I think some of this paint was intentional for the effect...
...whereas this paint is au' naturel

Reminder to self: don't forget Father's day is Sunday June 21st!
Do you have any fun father's day traditions or plans this year? Do share with us.
